He Found His Dog
As Julian approached the willow tree, he was relieved to see Spike emerge from behind it. “Don’t go running off again, Spike!” Julian scolded his dog, relieved to have found him. However, as he looked closer at Spike, he noticed that something was different about his dog. Spike seemed a bit on edge, and he had an unusual look in his eyes that Julian had never seen before. Julian couldn’t understand what could have caused this change in his normally calm and composed dog.
Had Spike encountered something in the forest that had frightened him? Julian couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off about this place, and he knew that he needed to get out of the forest as soon as possible. He gathered his things and called for Spike to follow him, eager to return to the safety and familiarity of home.
